Palemon Vs Proctor
During The Knight’s Tale Palemon visits the temple of Venus. I did not predict Palemon visiting the temple of Venus, because I more thought he would visit the temple of Mars because of how much anger and resentment Palemon held. Although, while Palemon visits the temple of Venus he prays for not strength or victory but wants Emily and to die while serving Emily. Palemon wants to hold Emily in his arms even if it is only for one time, and if its Heaven’s ill he will be with Emily to love and cherish. Although, if it isn’t the will of Heaven he wants Arcita to spear him through the heart, and for Arcita to marry Emily if he cannot. At the end of the tale Palemon’s prayer did come true, by Palemon marrying Emily and being able to serve and cherish her for the rest of his life. …show more content…
Emily’s visit to the temple of Diana is somewhat predictable, because she was always out picking flowers and being involved with nature. Although, I didn’t predict Emily wanting to continue being a virgin rather than being married or with child. While Emily was in the temple of Venus she prayed for continuing to stay a virgin, and to serve Diana. Emily continued to pray for the hearts of Palemon and Arcita‘s heart to be turned away from her, and towards each other. If Dana could not grant these prayers then Emily prayed to be married to the one that desires her the most between Palemon and Arcita. At the end of the tale Emily’s prayer got answered by being married to both men, but Arcita died from wounds and the final marriage was to Palemon which she was happy with, because Palemon cherished and served her to best of his

    Despite Proctor’s death being inevitable, he realizes that he could forgive himself and regain his good name. Arthur Miller used Proctor to ascend to an extraordinary human to fight in what he believes was right, even if it costs him his life. Proctor’s life was not in vain, because he validated that, he would not sell out to an unjust court. With all the flaws John Proctor presents he died on a basis of integrity and truthfulness rather than giving into unjust conformity.…

    Miss Emily is first explained as a nice, sweet, and normal woman, though that all changed as her life went on. The death of her father was the flame that ignited all of this weirdness of Emily. After her father died, Miss Emily did not go out much probably because of grief over the loss of her father. “Because her father is the only man with whom she has had a close relationship, she denies his death and keeps his corpse in her house until she breaks down three days later when the doctors insist she let them take the body” (A1). This statement demonstrates her inability to let go of lost ones.…

    During the course of this story Emily struggles to accept Mr. Grierson, Colonel Sartoris, and Homer Barron have died. We see this in two different ways. First, her failure to realize years later (days later in her father’s case) that these men have passed away. Secondly, Emily keeps Homer as well as Mr. Grierson bodies even after they died. Exhibiting traits of someone who suffers from necrophilia. Emily also struggles to adapt to the world that is industrializing, and modernizing around her. Instances of this are also through the story. Whether she is unwilling to pay taxes, receive the free new mail delivery, or even her house being the last one standing in the neighborhood. Those are just a few of the instances of how Miss Emily was unable to adapt to a modernizing society. Now, my perspective on “A Rose for Emily” is not the only one that exist. In fact there are numerous others. For example, Thomas Klein, and Aubrey Binder give drastically different perspectives on the story then I did. Whereas, Klein analyzed “voice of gossip” (Klein, 2007), and Binder analyzed the meaning of dust throughout this story. However, both are brilliant in their own…

    She expresses annoyance at him for neglecting his friends and devoting all of his time to baseball. She is specific in her criticism of George, leaving us, readers having a negative reaction about their relationship. They decide to get married and Emily seems to have some regrets about her decision. Right before the wedding, she starts to experience doubts about starting a new life with George. She seems to fulfill her mother’s fears that she is too naive to become a wife. In the end, Emily gets over her fears and ends up marrying George. In Act III, Emily dies in childbirth and hesitantly joins the spirits in the cemetery. She is tentative in accepting her position at first, and being new, she is able to comment on the differences between the living and the dead. Emily states, “They’re sort of shut up in little boxes, aren’t they?” (Pg. 96). She is showing that she knows more about freedom then the living. As the audience, we find this ironic considering she has recently been buried in a grave and she, herself, is more confined to living beings. When Emily is asked to relive a day in her life, she insists on going back to her twelfth birthday. As she is…

Her choice to not get married gave her freedom and once again even though her choices can be seen as oppressive, they did the exact opposite by giving her a chance to live her life exactly as she…

    It was stated by the narrator that Miss Emily had been “sick for a long time” (Faulkner, 1930, p. 543), but there was no mention of what her illness was. The death of her father made her mental illness more noticeable. This was told by the quote that Emily had “no trace of grief on her face” (Faulkner, 1930, p. 543) when the women of the town come to give their condolences and maybe even more so when Miss Emily insisted that “her father was not dead” (Faulkner, 1930, p. 543). It seems Emily may have killed her father because of the life that she had with him. Even with all of the noticeable symptoms the community still helped Miss Emily to believe in that she was okay.…
